I'm glad that the mouth kind of juts out so the grilles don't look flat and pasted on the front end. I hope they keep this for the production car.

Profile is strange, it doesn't scream BMW to me. Looks like an A5

Oh, also hopefully there's no awkward hood cut line on the production model. They did a good job with that here

I'm thinking horizontal slats and possibly round tailpipes on the production car.

Different grille slats between what was on stage and the glamour shots

The front grill is ugly as fufifkdnjsksndndndn

Hopefully they keep the thick chrome border and tucked in slats in the production model to give the grille more depth.

All in all, I think they integrated a gigantic kidney grille as well as they could have. It could have been worse.

I'm more disappointed in the profile. Really not a fan of this style of kink BMW is using in the 6GT, X4, and now this.

The car will look mean when you swap the luxury candy red paint, the chrome window surrounds and silver wheels with something sporty and tone down the grill contrast with a lighter paint. If the last gen. was the M3’s this gen. will be the M4’s.

Ya know, you're probably right. My eyes have adjusted to it (...thanks SCOTT26 and Jason!!!), so I'm on board. I think the ///M4 will look pretty good, but I don't know how that front end is going to look when mated to the sedan body of the ///M3.

Weiner0123 · 09-10-2019, 02:21 AM

That does not look like a BMW

You know it’s just going to look better every time you look at it and when you see the real thing, you’re sold. I’m super happy with what they’ve done here, this will really feel like a new car and not the same old and it’s properly nice. None of the boring 8 series front or the G20’s -Really this is your new exciting model for the next 7 years, sigh.

There's a long list of people in my thread who share your sentiment. :P

Hahahahahahahahahagagagaashahahwhahhshszhshdhw

I'm going to start practicing miming me puking in anticipation of seeing these 4 series on the street. I already do it when I see X4's, X6's, etc. But I'm gonna have to make a new one specifically for the viciously ugly upcoming 4 series.

If the M3 adopts this stupid new grill, then I'm out. Hello M340i!

....just buy your M340i now and save yourself the unnecessary wait. The new ///M WILL have these large grills.

Vertical bars please.

I am not a fan of the grill and think it comes across as clumsy and out of place but I do think vertical bars would improve the look of the grill - if it doesn't come with you can always swap them out for an OEM Grill with vertical bars 😋

It's 99.9% likely that the production car will have the horizontal slats that we've seen numerous times. However, I've seen hot women create instantaneous change. Got get him girl! Change that CEO's mind. :P
